Circobotys serratilinearis Wang , sp. nov. ( Figs 8 View Figures 5–12 , 15 View Figures 13–19 , 22 View Figures 20–24 )
Diagnosis. This species is similar to C. cryptica Munroe & Mutuura, 1969 superficially, but it can be differentiated by the sacculus with a narrow triangular dorsal process, the sella with not extending to sacculus, and the vesica with an irregular sclerite in the male genitalia. In C. cryptica , the sacculus has a short thumb-shaped dorsal process, the sella basally protrudes to the sacculus and forms a sharp process, and the vesica lacks a sclerite.
Description. Adult ( Fig. 8 View Figures 5–12 ) wingspan 28.0–29.0 mm. Vertex and frons buff, frons with creamy white stripe laterally. Labial palpus with first segment white ventrally, pale yellowish brown dorsally; second segment tinged with white ventrally, pale yellowish brown dorsally; third segment pale yellowish brown. Maxillary palpus pale yellowish brown. Antenna buff, scape and basal flagellomeres white on anterior margin. Tegula and thorax buff. Abdomen buff dorsally, dirty white ventrally. Forewing slightly narrow; costal margin straight except slightly arched before apex; termen obliquely truncate, shorter than length of dorsal margin; apex slightly curved downward; dorsal margin slightly arched. Ground color of forewing buff, patterns pale brown: antemedian line from basal 1/5 of costal margin to basal 1/3 of dorsal margin, curved, forming an angle between lower margin of cell and 1A; orbicular stigma a round small dot; distal discoidal stigma stripe-shaped; postmedian line from costal 4/5 to dorsal 2/3, serrate; cilia yellow. Hindwing with termen arched; postmedian line pale brown, from costal 4/5 to middle of CuA 2, finally directing to middle of dorsal margin; cilia buff. Patterns on ventral surface of wings more distinct.
Male genitalia ( Fig. 15 View Figures 13–19 ). Uncus broad basally, gradually narrowed to 3/5, setose medially; distal 2/5 extremely narrow, pointed at apex, without setae. Valva with basal 2/3 parallel sided dorso-ventrally, distal 1/3 slightly narrowed to obtuse apex; costa straight, slightly narrowed distally, reaching before end of costal valva; sacculus protruded dorsally, with a narrow triangular dorsal process apically reaching ventral margin of costa. Sella spine-like, slender, incurved distally. Juxta with posterior, anterior and lateral margins concave medially, forming a butterfly shape. Phallus slender, shorter than valva, distally with a toothed sclerite, serrate on dorsal margin; vesica with an irregular sclerite; cornutus small, spine-like, placed distally.
Female genitalia ( Fig. 22 View Figures 20–24 ). Apophyses anteriores approximately 1.5 times as long as apophyses posteriores. Ductus bursae slightly inflated posteriorly; sclerite along posterior 2/3, with a longitudinal carina, with a slender thumb-shaped process produced from anterior end of sclerite; ductus seminalis with a spur at base. Signum sharp at both ends of transversal median carina, posterior margin with a small thumb-shaped process medially, anterior margin roundly convex.
Material examined. Holotype ♂, Wenfeng Temple (26º48′N, 100º14′E; elev. 2650 m), Lijiang , Yunnan, 16 July 2001, coll. Houhun Li and Xinpu Wang, genitalia slide No. ZDD02040. Paratypes. 1♂ 1♀ GoogleMaps , 18 July 2001, others same as holotype.
Distribution. China (Yunnan).
Etymology. The specific name is from the Latin serratus, meaning serrate, and linearis, meaning line, referring to the serrate postmedian line of the forewing.
